The True Gentlewoman.

a gentleWonnan, writes Catherine
Cali in the New Orleans PicaYune, is
born not made; her smiles cannot be
like parasol, for outdoor use in sum
ny weather. Why should she smirk,
and grin, and faWn, and fatter the
woman Of her set who is rich and re-
ceiyed everywhere and be ashamed to
be commonly polite to the woman who
| is not on her visiting-list or acknow-
lodged in her social circle? Social
varnish Of smirk and smile, if laid on
an inch thick, cannot hide the unloveli-
ness Of a rotten heart or reclaim it
from a hideous foulness that humber
folk have smelled and been made sick
of. To some the most honest hearts,
the most manly men, the most beauti-
full faces and most charming girls, are
mere smuts and blurs unless they are
framed in by fine clothes, are busted at
only the most aristocratic trades, and
are placed in only the highest circles.
Good manners that are the spen-
taneous expression of a good and
kindly heart are tested best when the
man or woman is placed in unusual
circumstances. It is easy enough for
madame to smile, and be gracious, and
wear all her captivating little accoutre-
ments Of amiability and even temper in
her own home amongst her own friends,
but you have only to send her out into
the world, place her temporarily in I'M
congenial company among unfamiliar
people to learn whether she is real
princess or no. The real queens of the
best society are not known by their
fine gowns. Nor can. they travel
through the world incognito Wherever
they 60 there is that about them that
commands homage and inspires good
behavior. Like good angels, they
illuminate life and make uncertain ways
plain by the beautiful jewel of unselfsh
consideration for others that is set like
a star in the forehead, a beacon, guide,
comfort to all who come near.

How the Quakers Wed.

A queer Quaker marriage ceremony
was recently performed at San Fran
cisco. The parties were Mr.. II. A.
Smith and Miss Ella J. Brady. It is
one of the peculiarities of the San Fran
cisco code that the Mayor has not the
legal power to perform the marriage
service; hence, when the Quaker bride
and groom called on him, he secured
the services of Judge Wilson. After
silent prayer, all stood in semicircle.
The Judge then used the simple words
of the Quaker contract, and declared
the couple man and wife. The bride
had two maids, and all three were
dressed in sober gray. ~. s-..
